God being (so to speak) one what in three whos, the Son had never not been in communion with the Father until that point in time. It's a kind of suffering one who is one person might not be able to comprehend. There is also some biblical evidence that the past and the future are experienced eternally as the present for God, and that God remains unchanged by the events of time. If this is the case, there might be some sense in which the suffering of God never ends and is, like God forever.
OK. So the father part of the trinity is not speaking to the son part for 30 years and thats the torment. So why did Jesus have to be sacrificed by crucifiction ?
